http://transposh.org/version-0-9-9-0-workers-of-the-world-unite/#commentsSun, 01 May 2016 21:33:44 +0000http://transposh.org/?p=657For the first of May, the international workers day we have finally released the very long overdue and anticipated version of 0.9.9.0.

What is this version good for?

First – support for Baidu, the Chinese search giant which also have a translation engine, with the support for Cantonese which is rather unique for this engine. Another good thing is that with this engine, websites that are hosted in China can get access to a working translation engine.

Second – we have fixed the current key less support of both Google and Yandex, so actually they should work again now. So if a few pages in your site were not translated, the new version got you covered. A few languages were added in the process.

Third – lots of changes, additions and bug fixes all around. Yeah, we need to fix the documentation and FAQ for some.

Why are you still reading this? Just upgrade today, and work tomorrow!

http://transposh.org/version-0-9-8-0-welcome-yandex/#commentsTue, 27 Oct 2015 22:01:15 +0000http://transposh.org/?p=638There is more to the world than just Google Translate, there is also more to the world than just Bing Translate, apparently the ~150 million Russians are also doing great stuff, with Yandex, the most popular search engine in Russia.

Yandex supports many languages and produces different results than the other engines, it also specializes in languages that are spoken inside Russia such as Bashkir, Kirghiz and Tatar. Which we were now able to add to the list of languages, making the total number of supported auto-translated languages to a whopping 95!

The addition of Yandex also triggered changed in the way we deploy auto translations, so it is now possible to set the preference of the translation engine you would like to use.

We also had many (and we mean MANY) bugs fixed in this release, the change log will give you a good taste of this:

Yandex translator support added

Added the option to choose preferred translators order via drag and drop

Fix critical bug in translate post and translate on publish

Fixes in language selection UI (long language names)

Fix translation dialog not loading on first click

No longer expose Google keys externally

Fix the clean automatic translations in the utils tab

Support Bashkir, Kyrghiz and Tatar thanks to Yandex – Now supporting 95 Languages!

Added Swahili support to Bing

Reduced wait time between posts in translate all to 2 seconds

Fix shortcodes when wrapping a <p> tag

New Google icon

Fix WP_Widget deprecation call for wordpress 4.3

Minor fix for buddypress search integration

Fix some cases when https urls would not be rewritten

Fix rewrite support for three letter languages (currently only ceb)

Enjoy this version!

http://transposh.org/version-0-9-7-2-shortened-shortcodes/#respondTue, 28 Jul 2015 23:34:37 +0000http://transposh.org/?p=626The release train has finally picked up some speed, so we are proud to present this new version.
This version fixes the Google proxy again, this is happening because there are things that we really cannot control. But again, it works.

The main changes include the additional [tpe] shortcode which was added on top of the older [].
This code is used for self enclosing codes, where it is not necessary to close the tag, this is because a caveat in wordpress which causes
the code parsing to go berserk when mixing self-enclosed and closing shortcodes.

Also, there is no need to specify ="y" any more, so now [tpe mylang] will simply work and output: kk

We urge you to upgrade, and enjoy this new version.

http://transposh.org/version-0-9-7-1-we-have-a-new-site/#respondTue, 21 Jul 2015 23:58:29 +0000http://transposh.org/?p=616First thing first, we would like to deeply thank Christopher from LPK Studio – http://lpkstudio.com/ for the new design of our website, this new website is finally up to today’s new web standards and should be visible on your mobile devices.

We really enjoyed working with Christopher on this, and he was extremely efficient, responsive and knew what we needed even before we asked

The new website is accompanied by a new release, nothing major here but a few bugs had gone the way of the dodo.

You may again use the + symbol inside translations

In some occasions, long paragraphs didn’t get the proper automatic translation from Google

Clearing old translations didn’t really work in 0.9.7.0

Enjoy the new version, and make sure you upgrade to this full version, its free.

http://transposh.org/version-0-9-7-0-fixes-and-features-all-around-and-superproxy-alpha/#commentsFri, 05 Jun 2015 22:00:48 +0000http://transposh.org/?p=603New version is here!

What is that SuperProxy and why should you enable this?

SuperProxy is our new “Get rich quick” scheme. hmm…

Actually, we are using the end nodes to allow companies and individuals to have distributed access to the web. We will be paying for this traffic, so if you bought a hosting service and you have tons of data transfer you are not using, we will really appreciate that you enable this feature, it will support us and will probably be worth your while. We will publish more details about this as they become available.

And – to the rest of the changelog:

Woo integration fixes

Ditch the base64 encoding and reduce size of translatable pages

Widget fixes makes flags show correctly when wrong box sizing was used

Removal of front end progress bar, it was rarely seen or used and caused more trouble than it was worth

So – Enjoy this version, and don’t be a stranger, let us know how it works for you.

http://transposh.org/happy-new-year-2015-whats-in-store/#commentsThu, 01 Jan 2015 03:58:40 +0000http://transposh.org/?p=586Hello everybody,
Just wanted to do a quick writeup about what features are planned for the coming year:

Backend string editor – this feature is about 80% complete by now, it allows you to see strings inserted to the database and perform some actions on those. Things that are now very hard such as removing all translations from a single translator will become a snap. This feature is expected for release in a few weeks.

Support for widgets in uploads directory – custom widget writers have been complaining (and rightly so) about the fact that upgrading forces a reinstall of the widgets. The basic idea will be to allow some files to stay there and avoid that hassle. This might also open up the option of a downloadable widget directory which will allow us to give more choice of widgets without inflating the plugin file size.

Frontend string editor – this will create some interface to the strings on the page, that while not being “wysiwyg” will allow some better workflow, mainly with regards to editing meta strings and other hidden strings, with some luck, ajax translations will also be editable after this upgrade. This one will take a few months to come.

Numeral system support – this feature will automatically translate numbers from the European numeral system to Arabic and Hindi systems (and maybe vice-versa). Not a critical feature but a nice feature coming soon to a parser near you.

Any comments and ideas will be welcomed below, if they make sense we’ll add them to our workplan. If you really wish to promote a feature you may sponsor the coding, contact us via the form.

Happy new year!

http://transposh.org/version-0-9-6-0-longest-overdue-released-on-shortest-day/#respondSat, 20 Dec 2014 23:51:52 +0000http://transposh.org/?p=582This version adds the new ten languages Google translate has recently added. The release focused on fighting the warnings and bugs that have crept into Transposh in the last year.

One may ask himself, if the software hasn’t changed, how comes bugs have crept in? The answer to that is simple, the software does not exist in a vacuum, things change all the time, new versions of PHP added strict warnings which disturbed some users, there were new releases for wordpress and other software component, as well as changed to the almighty Google translate engine. Those changes created situations that current code was not able to handle, but we wish this new version will be a bit more capable of doing.

Other new stuff includes Yoast SEO sitemaps integration (You need to patch it, instructions are in our code).
A small feature to remove useless auto translations (where the Translations were equal to the original strings, which happens when some sites got blocked by Google)
more stuff, the readme.txt file is your friend.

Hoping to get things more up to speed and rolling

Enjoy.

http://transposh.org/version-0-9-5-the-lost-upgrade/#commentsTue, 11 Feb 2014 10:11:09 +0000http://transposh.org/?p=554Version 0.9.5 was released not too long ago, and the full version 0.9.5.1 was released as well. You may ask yourself, I am looking for updates in my wordpress dashboard and I don’t see anything, how comes?

This is the exact reason 0.9.5 came to life, there was a critical bug related to a change made in the upgrade api by wordpress 3.8 which made transposh block all updates (including its own) from the dashboard.

So, what to do?

In order to upgrade to the latest full version, there are a few options:

disable the current Transposh plugin, check for updates, update to version 0.9.5 from wordpress.org, activate the plugin, mark “allow update to the full version” and update again

delete your current version of the plugin and install the version from wordpress.org and follow the update procedure

manually download the latest version and just replace the files on your server.

We are truly sorry about this inconvenience

What else is new?
More languages were added to the Google engine, changing the total number to 82 supported languages!

What about 0.9.4?
It was a lovely version, fixed issues with the Google proxy support, we should have written a full post about it too, so 0.9.4, please accept our apology

Enjoy the new version, and don’t hesitate to inform us about any issues

Upgrade to the latest version from wordpress.org (which will be the last, there)

Check “allow upgrade to full version” in the settings

Check for upgrades and perform the upgrade, that’s all!

What’s new in version 0.9.3:

Update will work from our site

Some bug fixes

Ability to remove the rel=alternate which was not always useful

(0.9.3.1) We have released a sub version to incorporate the new languages supported by Google, making our total count – 73! (If anyone here speaks Hmong, please contact us)

We hope you’ll enjoy this version.

http://transposh.org/goodbye-wordpress-org/#commentsWed, 01 May 2013 03:18:09 +0000http://transposh.org/?p=510So long, we were the suckers…

Four years after going to the wordpress repository, and 189,795 downloads later, Transposh will be leaving the wordpress.org repository.

Apparently, all this time our widget had a link to our site, and although it was possible to remove it, this was against the wordpress.org guidelines.

This is a guideline that we can not accept, we believe that we deserve credit for our work. Not less than twitter, facebook, or any other well known company providing third party widgets out there.

We also can not accept the fact that our plugin will be removed without notice, and without any time to make changes, right out of the blue.

We can not accept that messages that we post on the plugin forum will be removed just because the moderators don’t like them, or decide that they are against rules that they have created themselves. Rules they don’t want to reconsider.

They are free to make any decision they like, after all, its their hosting and their rules. Can’t ignore that, luckily enough we don’t have to accept them.

If you want to complain, don’t complain here, try and complain on the forums, but my guess is that you will be moderated, wordpress.org is not a democracy, nor is it a GPL compliant site, everything there must be free, in cost, and in speech, that is the reason you got tons of crippled plugins that only serve as promotion to a pro version. This is also what they suggested that we do with Transposh. And we don’t like it, not one bit.

If a next version will ever be uploaded to that site, it will be a crippled version, (without any links here, for sure) and not the most usable version. The latest version (non crippled) will be served right here on the download page. To which we will now have to add an update mechanism.
